It was a pleasure to meet a real gentleman from across the big pond. :thumbup:

I can only hope JT51 took a few notes on how he can become a true gentleman. :roll:

Well, we are back in the UK now and I am trying to pluck up the enthusiasm to mow the 10 inches of grass that has grown in our absence. :cry:

Thank you for the kind comments and I was very pleased to meet all those that were at the NFGFC meeting.
I notice that some "regulars" had stayed away, I am not sure if they heard I was coming, or were worried about the strange habit Jumptrout51 has of spilling beer over everyone. :lol:

I now have my two new hats, an appreciation of what to do if there is a hurricane and an in depth knowledge of the darker parts of Tallahassee, which I visited trying to find my way back to St George Island.
The words I intend having on my tombstone are, "turn right at the top of the road, go straight ahead and you can't miss it". :roll:

Sorry I didn't have the opportunity to meet you, Cran. I was lured into the Florida Keys with tales of whiskey and wild women. :lol:
